Green Zone is a standing dish here and bids for a seventh course victory. He’s won off higher marks in the past so goes on the shortlist. Holy Motivation is still awaiting a first victory under Rules but has been second twice over course and distance recently so is unlikely to be far away again. MIGHTY THUNDER (NAP) is having a first run since third here in April but drops down a grade and ran well on his reappearance on this track a year ago. There may be more to come this season so he gets the vote with little to recommend the others.
